Please note that Noisebridge does not guarantee or provide a perfect secure experience in the space. Just like anywhere else in the world you're held responsible for your own safety and wellbeing. This also includes content you receive or transmit or provide through any mediums, such as through pen and paper, sound waves or any networks wired or wireless functioning in the space. Noisebridge is a volunteer run and operated space that provides you with infrastructure, which you use at your own risk.

Noisebridge has two open wifi networks available for your use. In most cases if you connect to the network Noisebridge your laptop/phone/device will have the best luck getting crystal clear wifi and roam between radio channels according to which provides the most reliable and fastest connection.

The wifi and internet provided is for public use. Like any public network, you should regard Noisebridge's as potentially hostile and take appropriate precautions. In order to not give the impression of providing false security, Noisebridge does not run any encrypted wifi networks.

The following networks are active:

Noisebridge

No password

Uplink through Sonic.net and Monkeybrains

802.11gn 2.4 gHz and 802.11an 5 gHz, your wifi device decides which network is the best for it and roams accordingly

Dynamic DNS is provided by the nat machine for DHCP clients on 172.30.0.30/22. Resolution of machines with static addresses is done by ipv4 or ipv6 mDNS and dynamic DNS entries on the nat machine from the DHCP service.

There is a Sonic.net Fusion ADSL2+ DSL connection in the building. The physical circuit comes in from the MPOE in the basement and runs across the roof of the basement and up the side of the building into the DJ booth (Tea Room), then over to the Wall o' Tubes. The CPE is a Motorola 2210 ADSL2+. The admin password is the serial number, written on the bottom.

The addressing configuration is a little unusual. It's 75.101.62.0/24 and we've been allocated a /29 within that block: 75.101.62.88 - 75.101.62.95. Note that we get to use all 8 addresses; the broadcast and network address are 75.101.62.255 and 75.101.62.0 respectively. The gateway is 75.101.62.1.

The default CPE settings are not correct for our circuit configuration. From a factory reset, do the following to configure the CPE:

Configure a computer for 192.168.1.253/24.

Connect the computer to the DSL CPE.

Power cycle the DSL CPE.

Connect to 192.168.1.254 using your web browser.

You will be prompted to set a password, use the serial number on the bottom of the DSL CPE.

We have a wireless point-to-point path up to Twin Peaks that connects up to a city-owned and volunteer-run IP transit network. Currently, we're hitting the dish off of the side and have a pretty terrible connection. For now, this network path is mostly only usable as a backup path.

There is a router in our wireless CPE hardware (st01-noisebridge-sfo) that connects up to the Noisebridge network and terminates as 172.30.0.54 on the "Inside / Internal" network. Set your default route via this IP to try the other path.

Most hardware is set to use the most guessable logins and passwords possible. If you're interested in logging in, just make some guesses as to what the login can be. Use your favorite search engine. Poke around. Hack.

This is the IPv6 subnet assigned to us by sonic. We configure the first /64 in this /60 so that autoconfiguration works. biketrailer hands out IPv6 router advertisements for this subnet directly, and your machine will SLAAC its way to ipv6 goodness. They're directly routable, but unsolicited incoming traffic is blocked by the firewall to protect the users. This means you can't run an IPv6 server on our IPv6 subnet, but you can connect to other machines on the IPv6 Internet just fine.
